This ramp is located in Brazil. Yes it is cheap to make and saved many lives, they are building more like this as this one was successful. Brazilian geography is full of hills and accidents like this are common, well I hope it becomes a "thing from the past".Imagine being in an emergency where you have no brakes, see an emergency runaway lane and be relieved, only to see there's already someone in it.As a retired truck driver,I can attest to the fear a driver feels when his brakes fail.Had that happen to me when the municipality I worked for decided I should use a truck with hydraulic brakes that been sitting for over a year.The brake lines had rotted to the point that the brake fluid literally started spewing out as I was making my way through a high traffic area.Thankfully I could gear the truck down to a stop.I was sweating pretty good by the time that drive ended.
